It knits up really fast—perfect even for beginners!

The pattern also includes clear, step-by-step photos.
The size is designed for a fully grown French Bulldog .
Of course, it’s also suitable for dogs of roughly the same size, since the merino wool stretches to fit.

A wonderfully soft textured dress with a hood, perfect for both elegant and casual wear!

The variety of different textured patterns makes this project so special.
Since the patterns used consist only of knit and purl stitches, even a confident beginner can give it a try.

A detailed step-by-step explanation guides you through the pattern repeats.

This pattern is designed for sizes 36/38.
However, the included schematic and the gauge make it possible to make any size!

And here’s the pattern with more details...

Wonderfully casual and trendy shoulder bag in natural tones

This casual bag is the ideal companion for summer! Elegant thanks to
natural tones, classic and casual in shape, it goes with almost any
leisure outfit and is a real eye-catcher.

With this special stitch, it is possible to crochet in rounds without offsetting and
thus create the ideal base for embroidery motifs.


In the photos you can see the embroidered front side and the non-embroidered
back side. Of course, you can embroider both sides or leave the
bag “plain” — whatever you like.

Here’s the pattern




Material: Schachenmayr Boston Sun (yardage 100 m/100 g) in Natural (color 02) and Linen (color 05), 300 g each, crochet hook 7.0 mm

Required prior knowledge: chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet

Detailed instructions as a PDF file with crochet chart and step-by-step photos.

Airy and elegant triangular shawl to snuggle into and feel good in.

Cuddly-soft, wonderfully loose and soft, versatile, and incredibly chic.


The crochet shawl can be crocheted with different yarns. Here
a Woolly Hugs BOBBEL-COTTON (50% cotton, 50% polyacrylic, yardage =
800 m/200 g) in color no. 01 was used. It was crocheted with a
3.0 mm crochet hook.

Here’s the pattern



The shawl has a length of approx. 190 cm / height approx. 90 cm. Since the pattern
is very simple and repeats every 2 rows, the shawl can be made in
any size you like.

Suitable for beginners.

Required prior knowledge: chain stitch, single crochet, and treble crochet
Detailed description as a PDF file with text, crochet chart, and step-by-step photos.

Practical shopping net with the life motto “Live Love Laugh.”
This cute shopping net reminds you to take a short break now and then and
enjoy life. Thanks to the filet pattern, the bag is crocheted in no time and also makes a great gift.

For the material, I used Catania by Schachenmayr; of course,
you can also use any other cotton yarn—also great for
using up leftovers. Crochet hooks 2.5 mm and 3.0 mm.
The bag is 35 cm wide and 45 cm tall (including handles).

Suitable for beginners.

Click here for the pattern



The pattern is described in detail with a counting pattern, crochet chart, and lots of pictures.

Mermaids are still all the rage. Of course, Barbie doesn’t want to be left behind! With this awesome outfit, she transforms into an enchanting mermaid in no time! The mermaid tail is quick to crochet, and the shell stitch is very simple—you’ll hardly need to count. And with just a few tiny leftovers, you can crochet hair accessories and a top to go with it—and the perfect mermaid is ready!
You can download the pattern right here!

Of course, these crocheted shells also go wonderfully with the mermaid. You’ll get a pattern for 3 different models that are very easy to crochet. Use your leftover yarn however you like! Light colors and short color runs look especially good and realistic.

Decorative, original, and easy to make—even for beginners!



    Each of these Advent calendar trees consists of three layers that form the tree itself, plus a container. All parts are made separately and then assembled using a thin wire. The little fir trees are made of cardstock and are about 8 cm tall.

Here I’d like to introduce you to some of my classic patterns. They are also popular to crochet because they include lots of photos and detailed step-by-step explanations. That makes them very easy for beginners to make too.

Crocheted Jar Covers "Lichterzauber"
Especially as the season gets darker, it’s nice to have atmospheric light in your home and living room. For these lanterns, all you need is a large empty yogurt jar and some leftover yarn, such as Catania by Schachenmayr or another cotton yarn. And then you’re ready to get started. The jars are quick to make, also make lovely gifts, and with an LED light they sparkle in the colors of the yarn.
--> Get the pattern here: Lantern "Lichterzauber"


Beanie "Herbstfreude"
This beanie is one of the most popular patterns from my shop. With this pattern, you can crochet lots of hats and outfit the whole family as well as friends. The beanie is started from the brim, so it’s very easy to adjust to any head circumference. You can use almost any yarn and yarn weight. That also makes it wonderful for using up leftover yarn.

Crochet a Casual Beanie
And this beanie is also one of the classics in my shop. It can also be adjusted to any head circumference, crocheted with almost any yarn and yarn weight, and is therefore very versatile. The brim also keeps the ears nice and warm.

And here is the popular gauge table—also printable:


LOOK UP instead of calculating—PDF table for knitting and crochet






(To purchase/download, please click the image )

Here it is—the much-requested PDF table for determining the number of stitches to cast on: LOOK UP instead of calculating—whether printed out or on your smartphone, always at hand—this PDF table is simply practical when you're on the go.

You crochet or knit your gauge swatch (at least 10 cm x 10 cm ), count how many stitches make up 10 cm for you, and can then conveniently look up in the table how many stitches you need to cast on for your desired measurement.
